Living with her were her daughter, Ida, age 15; son, Joseph, age 19 (a machinist); daughter-in-law Aggie, age 20, and; granddaughter Mary, age 1. If this is the same family, then it would appear that Joseph Martin had been married previously, before marrying Maria Jean. She was living at 499 N. Main Street, Providence, in 1885. Her son, Maxime, lived there as well. At the time of the 1900 Census, she was living at 376 Richmond Street, Providence, Rhode Island (Roll 1507, Book 1, Page 2a).
